Chapter 169: The Mysterious Ruolan
Xiong Ba set the time for the evening, and the location was in his cave mansion, as if he was looking forward to Gu Chen's performance at night, so for this banquet, he seemed to be more attentive than him, and actually went to buy wine and food outside Cuiyun Mountain in person.
It was still early before the time of the dinner, but this time was too short for cultivation, Gu Chen meditated in the bamboo forest for a while, and then hit his mind on the Void Mountain Formation.
In the blink of an eye, the cultivation resources of 120,000 meritorious deeds were all consumed on the Bone Demon Style, but he had not yet experienced how much his bones had strengthened.
Xiong Ba is not here, and now he has nothing to do, so he just uses the Void Mountain Array to test it.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen got up and came to the edge of the Void Mountain Formation, and when he took one step, he only felt an invisible pressure attacking, and his body sank suddenly.
Last time, when he first entered the Void Mountain Formation, he almost didn't kneel down because he was caught off guard, but this time, although he had already prepared, in the same place, he felt that the pressure was not as good as the last time he came in.
Gu Chen knew that it was not that the power of the Void Mountain Array had weakened, but that his cultivation in the recent period had indeed been effective, and that his body had become stronger.
Gu Chen walked cautiously, one step at a time, he could clearly feel that as he went deeper, the invisible pressure on his body was almost multiplying, and with each step deeper, the pressure would double.
Just four or five steps into the Void Mountain Formation, Gu Chen felt that the pressure began to make it difficult for him to breathe, and even his body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and there was a clicking sound from time to time.
It was almost the same as the last time he first entered the Void Mountain Formation, and at this time, Gu Chen made a silent calculation, and only then did he roughly calculate that the consumption of 120,000 meritorious deeds had increased his physical strength by four times compared to before.
Fourfold!
If it were any one who could increase the strength of his body so much in such a short period of time, he would probably be excited and difficult to contain, but Gu Chen's face did not show excitement.
Looking at his current position, and then comparing Xiong Ba's position, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the gap was not half a point, if the power of this Void Mountain Formation really gradually multiplied, then the pressure that Xiong Ba could withstand now was at least twenty times more than his.
Don't say twenty times, even if it is ten times, Gu Chen feels that he can be crushed into a meat patty, and the strength of Xiongba's body is really not comparable to normal people.
Gu Chen stopped at this position of the Void Mountain Formation, and after a while, he felt more and more strained, and just as he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered that Xiong Ba didn't just rely on the Void Mountain Array to temper his body, he was cultivating here!
"That's right, the environment inside this Void Mountain Array is worlds apart from the outside world, if you cultivate here, I don't know what the effect is?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen gave up his plan to go out temporarily, he crossed his knees on the ground, and withstood this pressure, calmed himself down, and activated the vitality in his body.
His eyes were slightly closed, and Gu Chen's face was slightly dull, because when he was running the vitality in his body, he found that it was as slow as a snail.
Outside the Void Mountain Array, although his vitality was not a lightning speed, but now under his full control, every time the vitality rotated, it was very difficult, and that feeling was like being sealed by black nails.
"No wonder Xiong Ba's strength is so perverted, if he can easily operate his vitality in this environment, then after leaving the Void Mountain Formation, wouldn't he be able to react instantly. ”
The so-called instantaneous reaction has always been one of the ways pursued by monks in the monastic world to become stronger.
If one of the two monks with the same strength runs faster than the other, then the same attack move, one may only be able to hit once, but the other can hit twice, and the combat effectiveness is judged.
Moreover, the speed of the vitality is fast, and it can better prevent some sudden dangers.
In the cultivation world, there are many cases of sudden attacks, many people only find out before the attack comes, but they can't prevent it, but if the speed of the vitality in the body is too fast, it is completely possible to make a defense and protection at the moment when the danger is discovered.
Overall, the faster the vitality works, the better it will be.
"No wonder Old Bear has been cultivating here, it seems that this Void Mountain Formation is indeed a rare place to cultivate. ”
Silently tapped his lips, Gu Chen emptied his mind and continued to urge the snail-like vitality in his body.
As time passed, Gu Chen's face seemed calm, but the pressure he was under was known only to him.
Cultivating in the Void Mountain Formation can't really empty your mind, because you still have to refresh your mind at all times to resist the pressure from the formation, maybe if you lose your mind a little, the strength of your body doesn't keep up, and you will be smashed to the ground by this pressure.
The speed of the vitality in his body went from crawling like a snail at the beginning, to slowly improving somewhat, just when Gu Chen was immersed in this cultivation, suddenly, he felt a gaze staring at him.
Opening his eyes suspiciously, Gu Chen followed this feeling, and sure enough, in the bamboo forest, he saw a woman in white clothes.
The woman is very beautiful, with a nose and cherry lips, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and delicate facial features like a perfect masterpiece of heaven and earth, even if there is any more decoration, it will look redundant.
Gu Chen was a little surprised for a while, because he didn't expect that there would be such a stunning woman, it was like walking out of a painting, the only thing that was wrong was that the breath on the woman's body was too cold.
His expressionless eyes stared at him, and Gu Chen felt as if he was looking at a piece of ice.
Could it be that she is Ruolan?
There are now two women in Cuiyun Mountain, one is Qin Rong, so this other one is naturally Ruolan.
Seeing that Ruolan was just looking at herself from a distance and didn't make any moves, Gu Chen just wanted to say hello, but saw Ruolan drift away.
Looking at Ruolan's departing figure, Gu Chen suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, it seemed to be humiliation, completely ignored, but it didn't seem to be, because he didn't have the anger of humiliation, he just felt a little unwilling.
"What a strange woman, is it just to see what I look like?"
Gu Chen muttered to himself, and at this time he realized that before he knew it, the time of the day had passed, and it was already dusk.
Thinking of today's dinner, Gu Chen hurriedly got up and walked out of the Void Mountain Formation, today he is the protagonist, I don't know if Xiong Ba is ready?
......
Under the sunset in the west, Cuiyun Mountain seemed to have been crossed with a layer of gold, and when Gu Chen came to Xiong Ba's cave, he had just finished his preparations.
The huge stone table, surrounded by five stone chairs, was full of delicious food and wine, and even he saw the hundred liver hui that he had eaten.
Gu Chen looked at the five stone chairs near the stone table and said, "The old ghost is also coming?"
"It's not him. Xiong overbearing, "There is a place for Qin Rong, since this banquet is set up, you might as well call them all." ”
Gu Chen nodded and said, "When are the three of them coming?"
"It's coming. A smile appeared on Xiong Ba's face, and he said, "I'm really looking forward to your performance tonight, it's okay, you can do whatever you want, I'll support you." ”
Looking at Xiong Ba's big package, Gu Chen laughed for a while, it felt good to have someone covered, but he didn't want to hide behind others, because this was originally his business.
Xiong Ba had already made a notice, but Ruolan and Zhan Jian hadn't come yet, so they chatted with Gu Chen for a while.
Suddenly, a ripple of water rippled Xiongba's cave mansion, and then a woman walked in.
It wasn't Qin Rong, it was Ruolan that Gu Chen saw in the bamboo forest just now.
With an expressionless face, Ruolan walked to the cave by herself, just said a word to Xiong, I didn't see you for a long time, and then sat down.
With the arrival of Ruolan, the atmosphere in the cave became deserted, Xiong Ba looked at Gu Chen, and made a helpless gesture, as if to say, there is no way, she is such an indifferent person, and Gu Chen also slapped his shoulders.
Ruolan didn't seem to notice the small movements between Xiong Ba and Gu Chen, she picked up the chopsticks by herself, and then began to choose her favorite food.
If you change to anyone, I'm afraid it will be displeasing to people, but this is not the case on Ruolan's side.
Ruolan's movements are very elegant, just watching her eat, it feels like watching an elegant performance.
Looking at Ruolan's slow chewing movements, Gu Chen couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead.
Xiong Ba may not see anything abnormal, because he has never been born in a big family, but Gu Chen is a young master from a serious family.
Ruolan's movements are very similar to everyone's ladies, and such elegant movements cannot be achieved by ordinary tutors, and there must be special teachers to teach, and every move is flawless and picky.
"Even the action of eating must be done to the extreme, she must be from an extraordinary family, it seems that there should be a lot of power behind her to support her. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Chen hinted at Xiong Ba, lowered his voice to the limit, and said, "What is the origin of this Ruolan?"
"What is the origin?" Xiong Ba was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have any origin, I was just found by the old man by chance, and I saw that my qualifications were good, so I brought it." ”
"Accidentally?" Gu Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, "So, her background is empty?"
Xiong Ba thought for a moment and nodded, "It seems that this is really the case, for so many years, I have never heard of any relatives in her, and I have never heard of her any inheritance sect, as if she has no relationship in Qingfeng Mansion." ”
Wrong!
Xiong Ba's words, Gu Chen can almost be 100% sure that Ruolan is definitely not an empty background, but is hidden by her, because it can be seen from her eating actions that she comes from a very well-cultivated or strict family education.
Moreover, her cultivation is definitely not innate, if there is really no inheritance sect, it is very likely to be a family heirloom, so the family power behind her is a little terrifying.
Strict family education, extraordinary family tradition, now taking Ruolan as an example, no matter how you calculate, the family behind her will not be weaker than the Fang family.
